Tack sharp, great comp and perfect PoV
But overall the image looks a bit under exposed and a bit low in contrast on my monitor.

Hi Major,
Lovely shot and a super pov , was at Titchwell last wednesday but didn't get anything as good as this , very envious.
Regards

Andy looked ok on my monitor but perhaps I am under doing things as by the time I convert to srgb they look a bit to strong. (My monitor is not calibrated only by my eyes)
Andrew you must have beaten the crowds but perhaps you were just unlucky.
I did ok on Saturday when the tide was right out but had to crawl and wade amongst the pools to get to the feeding Knot.
Sunday went for the tide but caught it just as it started to go down.
Kept moving down the beach to keep up. In the finish had Sanderling, Ringed Plover and Knot all around me. Downside was I got messed up and everything got covered in sand, so out came the hoover.

My monitor is calibrated with Eye one and it looks pretty much spot-on to me, nice low POV , I might have dropped the shutter speed for a stop more DOF personally, but a lovely shot Major, Its about time you muddied up that nice new motor of yours!
